"Lord Xiao, Princess," the chief eunuch Li Jingzhong ran in breathlessly.

"His Majesty has ordered that you two come to the palace to see him immediately!"

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips slightly, "Eunuch Li arrived just in time. I was almost about to go to the rooftop with my second brother to beat the drum and complain."

"It's a great honor for Eunuch Li to make this special trip," Xiao Jingchen smiled faintly, "I guess someone must have come to help the Zhennan Palace in times of need."

Li Jingzhong lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

"Eunuch Li, may I ask if His Majesty is only summoning them?" Lu Guifang jumped out again, "Shouldn't he also call us in for a confrontation?"

"Haha," Mu Qingyun couldn't help laughing.

Just as Lu Guifang was about to open her mouth to curse, she heard Li Jingzhong's cold voice, "His Majesty has ordered that all the people in the Zhennan Palace should kneel here and wait! As for Master Lu and that...humble concubine, they must also follow me into the palace, but His Majesty has said that you should follow the princess' carriage into the palace."

Seeing Lu Guifang's unconvinced look, Li Jingzhong sneered, "What, is the Zhennan Palace going to disobey the order?!"

Madam Lu immediately rushed to Lu Guifang and covered her mouth tightly, "I obey your order!"

"Eunuch Li," Xiao Yunxi said calmly, "There is a pregnant concubine in the Zhennan Palace. She has always been well-behaved and respectful to me. I wonder if this is okay?"

"Before I came here, His Majesty told me to just follow the princess's orders."

Li Jingzhong was extremely respectful. "The pregnant concubine will sit aside and wait. The rest of you will kneel and wait!"

Old Madam Lu didn't know what would happen next, but thinking of the letter she had received before, she calmed down and knelt down first. She also pulled Lu Guifang and asked her to kneel beside her.

For a moment, except for Hongyu, Old Madam Dong and Mu Qingyun, there were people kneeling sparsely in the hall.

"Madam Dong, Princess Yongning, I have ordered someone to escort you two back to the palace!"

Mu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yunxi worriedly.

Xiao Yunxi nodded with a smile, motioning them to follow the guards and leave first.

"Then I would like to thank Eunuch Li."

Madam Dong handed the black wooden box to Xiao Yunxi and said softly, "Be patient!"

Xiao Yunxi understood what Madam Dong meant. The fact that Li Jingzhong could appear at such a critical moment must mean that something had happened in the palace.

It seems to be disadvantageous to the Zhennan Palace, but in fact it is just a show for her.

Let alone a broken heart this time, I'm afraid the Prince of Zhennan's Palace won't even be able to survive.

She nodded slightly towards the old lady.

Afterwards, the Xiao siblings got on the carriage, and Lu Jingting staggered behind it. As for Lin Wan'er, she was dragged away by the young eunuch in the palace with a terrified look on her face.

Jamel Xiao played with the jade pendant in his hand, "What do you think His Majesty will do?"

Xiao Yunxi glanced outside the car nonchalantly, "That depends on what the Zhennan Palace offers in exchange?"

"I heard that the old prince captured the prince of the Di tribe alive and destroyed two-thirds of the Di tribe's military forces."

Jamel Xiao sneered, “This can be considered a military achievement, enough to exchange for his grandson’s life.

As for the Lin family..."

Xiao Yunxi lowered her voice and said softly, "I asked someone to check and found out that when Lin Wan'er was six years old, the old prince personally brought her back to the palace.

She was directly arranged to be a maid beside Lu Jingting."

Jamel Xiao heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly, “Are you suspicious?”

Xiao Yunxi didn't say anything. After all, it was just a guess and there was no evidence.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.

Li Jingzhong personally took the lantern from the young eunuch beside him and led the way forward.

When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he pushed it open and said with a smile, "His Majesty has ordered that you two can come in directly without being summoned."

Jamel Xiao nodded and stuffed a purse into Li Jingzhong's hand unnoticeably. Li Jingzhong accepted it with a normal expression.

The lights in the imperial study were on.

Emperor Xuanwen was leaning on the dragon throne with his eyes closed, playing with a jade pendant in his hand. An old man was kneeling in the hall. He was the old prince of Zhennan Palace.

Xiao Yunxi paused, it turned out that he was back.

"See Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuanwen heard the voice, opened his eyes, and smiled, "You are here, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jamel Xiao even kicked the soft stool brought by the young eunuch towards the old prince, then threw his robe aside and sat down.

Xiao Yunxi naturally didn't dare to sit closer to her brother than him, and had to move back a little...so she was closer to the old prince, and then she sat down leisurely.

Emperor Xuanwen twitched his lips, "Yunxi, tell me everything that happened after you married into the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion."

Xiao Yunxi was very obedient and told everything that had happened over the past two years in detail, even the fact that Lu Jingting was suspected of being cuckolded by his half-brother.

Not to mention that Emperor Xuanwen laughed out of anger, and not to mention that Xiao Jingchen clenched his fists in anger, Xiao Yunxi was very calm instead, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.

"Good! Good! It's really good, old King of Zhennan!" Emperor Xuanwen said "good" three times in a row, and was obviously very angry.

"Uncle Emperor, these are Yun Xi's experiences over the past two years." Xiao Jingchen drank a cup of herbal tea and said, "Do you think we should issue an order for them to divorce or break up?"

"Uncle Emperor, please don't get so angry about Yun Xi that you become ill."

Xiao Yunxi took the tea from Li Dezhong's hand, gave it to Emperor Xuanwen personally, and advised softly: "Yunxi will listen to you."

Emperor Xuanwen took the teacup, sighed, and was about to speak when he heard the eunuch come in to report that the nanny from Kunning Palace had come. It turned out that the Empress was not feeling well and had a headache, and asked Your Majesty to go over and see her.

"The Queen Mother thinks that the Emperor is the imperial physician." Xiao Yunxi said with a smile.

Emperor Xuanwen pursed his lips slightly. He heard the sarcasm in Xiao Yunxi's words, "Li Jingzhong, go get the imperial physician for the queen and tell her to have a good rest.

If you are really feeling very uncomfortable, you should stop managing palace affairs and stay at home to recuperate for a while!"

Xiao Yunxi's smile remained unchanged. The Queen was going to be embarrassed this time. Tomorrow morning, all the concubines in the palace would know about it.

Tsk tsk, I’m afraid my headache will get even worse.

"Uncle Emperor is so considerate to the Empress."

Xiao Yunxi smiled coquettishly.

Emperor Xuanwen shook his head helplessly and looked at her with a little bit of doting, "Your mouth is getting worse and worse."

"If I were really capable, I wouldn't be bullied like this by Lu Jingting! I've been married for more than two years and I'm still a virgin, but he's been toyed around like a monkey. I almost lost my life while helping others raise children!

If my mother was in the capital, she would have whipped me a long time ago. It's really embarrassing for her!"

Speaking of the whip of the eldest princess, Emperor Xuanwen also felt a pang of pain!

He coughed lightly, "Don't worry, uncle will take care of it for you!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Yunxi retreated back to the soft stool and sat down.

She knew very well in her heart that the emperor had known what he had been through for a long time, but he had been playing dumb the whole time. Why was he only now coming out to act like a good uncle? !
